Japanese persimmon also known as “Kaki” is one of the famous fruits during fall in Japan. Kaki contains a lot of vitamin C, fiber, mineral, amino acid and so on. It’s very reasonable and can be found in grocery stores! If you are visiting Japan during fall, it would be great to try unique local fruits!
